For Episode 13 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Hart Levine and Keith Kavanaugh recap the NHL Trade Deadline.
They talk about some of the big moves like Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche and John Carlson to the Anaheim Ducks. They also get into some under the radar moves like Conor Garland to Columbus and Bobby McMann to Seattle.
Then they talk about Nick Schmaltz new 8-year, $64M contract extension with the Utah Mammoth. Schmaltz is having a career year and locked down long-term security in Utah.
Then they dive into the No Trade Clauses, how many players have them, and which teams have the most. They are a driving force into why there was less action at the Trade Deadline this year with a decent amount of trades blocked according to insiders.
Then they talk about the Ottawa Senators, who originally forfeited their first round pick in this year’s NHL Draft due to not disclosing a trade clause in Evgenii Dadonov’s contract. The League ruled today that the Senators will get their pick back, but it will be the last pick of the first round, they cannot move that pick, and they will pay a fine of $1 Million.
